Abstract: Abstract The Faculty of Social Studies in Oxford, according to the official university Gazette, has some two hundred members. Symbols ph, p, and e against each name denote the sub-faculty, of philosophy, politics, or economics, to which each member is attached. The exact rules which determine the affixing of these symbols no doubt lie somewhere deep in the university statutes, but roughly they denote the central interest, in research or teaching of college tutors, university professors, readers and lecturers, and so on. Most members have only one symbol. Pairs are not unknown, ph, p; or p, e: though none — is this significant? — ph, e. Among all two hundred names only one carried a triple pennant ph, p, e, G. D. H. Cole, M.A., All Souls. This surely is significant. In his teaching, his writing, and his many public and political activities, Cole always represented in his person the idea of the seamless web of social studies.
